Right, when I opened the door, Kazuichi was standing in front of the door, seeing me he dropped to the floor in a bowing position, and then with a monotone voice he spoke,
"I, Kazuichi Soda deeply apologize for my actions I will never attempt to touch your cleavage again I deeply apologize, I also completely believe your claim, now do you accept my apology?"
"Wha-What are you doing?" I ask with a raised eyebrow
"Do you accept my apology?" Kazuichi asked slowly this time he also was looking around as he repeated himself
"S-Sure?" I say still confused
As soon as I accepted Kazuichi got up then started to walk away though he was constantly looking behind his back
'What just happened?' I wondered as I stood there confused
"At least he tried I'll take that for now.." I could hear Mahiru speak as she got closer
"Did you make him do that?" I ask strangely I was a bit more confident talking to her than Kazuichi- well that makes sense I mean I felt more comfortable talking to her than most of the people here
"Yep, though he didn't do that great of a job at least he tried"
"Why did you do that?" I ask with a raised eyebrow
"Because he needed to learn he can't just do that without consequences," she with a scowl though it wasn't directed at me
"O-Oh, okay? Can you please not do that again it was kinda awkward"
"Yeah, sure I should have asked I am sorry, ah! I know I was thinking of making some yummy desserts and tea then invite some people, but I wasn't for sure if I was gonna do it but now I am positive let's do it" she said with an excited smile though soon it collapsed
"The only problem is I don't know how to make deserts…" when she said that realization hit me
"Hey, I have this magazine maybe it has some recipes?" I ask while I pull out the An An AAn magazine out of my apron
"Ah, can you let me see it?" she asked
"Y-Yeah sure" I had it to her
"Yep, this should work thanks Hajime, meet me at the restaurant after breakfast, okay?" She seemed really excited
"Okay," I say with a light smile
I begin to walk to the restaurant I could see Mahiru talking to Hiyoko as I grew closer to the door
as I opened the door Ibuki jumped in front of me and yelled
"Good nom-nom-noming!"
"Eh!" I once again let out a small shriek I was definitely getting better at controlling that
"Ah!" Ibuki let out a small shriek seemingly to imitate me
"Ibuki is sorry that she scared ya Hajime," Ibuki said as she finished her small shriek
"I-It's fine what were you saying earlier?" I ask
"Hm, oh! Good nom-nom-noming? I am glad you asked cutie! I thought it up a greeting for when we all breakfast together! It's a revolutionary new phrase that combines "Good Morning!" and "Nom-nom-nom!" at the same time! This is definitely the new, hip thing to say! Good nom-nom-noming! Soooo…. I'm gonna tell everyone!" She said excitedly as she left
'Even if she makes it popular, it'll still be limited to this island' I thought with a sigh before I climbed the stairs to the restaurant
There was already a few people in the restaurant when I entered, the air was stiff as everyone stood there in silence then soon everyone else joined us
"...Is everyone here?"
"...Huh? It seems Fuyuhiko is not here yet." Chiaki said try to look around for the short gangster
"Hehe, maybe he died," Hioyko said with a smile
"Gyaaaah! A dead body already!?" Ibuki yelled out
"Don't kill me off you fucking whore" suddenly Fuyuhiko yelled as he appeared near the stairs
"I thought you weren't coming," Peko said sounding a bit surprised
"Ah, I decided to change my mind is that a problem?" he said to Peko though it was oddly a bit more polite than when he talked to the others
"Hmph, so everyone is here? Let's start talking" Byakuya said
"T-Talk?" I ask
"Rejoice… I have decided to throw a party tonight" Byakuya said with a smirk
"A-A party?" I ask aloud
"That's right. A huge party that will last from sundown to sunrise." Byakuya answered
"Party till the sun comes up!?" Ibuki yelled out
"Just so we're clear, I will not allow any absences. Your attendance at this party is absolutely mandatory" Byakuya yelled out with absolute authority
"H-Hey… Now's not the time to talk about stuff… like partying!" Kazuichi yelled
"On the contrary... there is no better time than this" Byakuya continued to push it felt a bit strange but that's just gotta be me
"Hmm, is doing a huge party the right thing?" Mahiru asked
"..Um, hold on I agree with Byakuya… It doesn't do us any good to stay bummed out like this, in fact, because of this situation we're in, it's probably best if we all strengthen friendships with one another. That's what you thought too, right? That's why you want to throw a party." Nagito talked with confidence
"It doesn't matter why I'm doing it… Anyway, it is of vital importance that we all stay in one place tonight."
"...You say that with such significance," Gundam said eerily
"It's decided! We're having ourselves a party!"
"Hm. It's important to be flexible in situations like this… Perhaps a diversion from all that is just what we need" Nekomaru said wisely
"Then let's party hard!" Akane yelled with excitement
"Ah, in that case, I'll put my amazing cooking skills on display for you guys," Teruteru said with a smile
"Where is the party going to be held? Would this restaurant be okay?" Chiaki asked with a tilted head
"No, this won't do… We need a location that's impervious to interference from outsiders a place even Monokuma cannot enter… What we need is an enclosed space." Byakuya said while pushing up his glasses
"An enclosed space?" Chiaki asked as she lightly tapped at her chin
"If the restaurant won't do, then neither will the lobby… that's not nearly enclosed enough," Gundam pointed out
"Nor will the cottages… With so many people, we would all pressed up against each other" Sonia thought aloud
"But if you want to be pressed up against each other, then a cottage is clearly the best choice! Pressing up against ladies…" Teruteru then went into his own fantasies I could feel a shiver as he talked
"Then… how about that old-looking building near this hotel?" Nagito asked ignoring the pervert
"...That run-down place?" Chiaki asked
"Yeah, but if we do our best to clean it, I think it'd be perfect. Plus, it's basically the only place that meets our needs for an enclosed space, right?"
"Hm, though a problem with that is for the first day and a half it was open to everyone so it may be dangerous, though Monomi has been guarding it since she came back so maybe not," Mahiru said with a thoughtful expression
"I heard your conversion! Heard it all, you can use it I made sure that there is nothing dangerous!" Monomi yelled out before disappearing
"Um… So we're all good with the old building? Though when I went in there It was really messy so we'll need to clean it" Mahiru said
"I have done the dirty work know as 'Cleaning' I am excited to finally do it!" Sonia said while lightly clapping her hands
"No way! There's no way we can dirty our dear princess's hands!" Kazuichi suddenly yelled
"Nyeeh I don't wanna do it either!" Hiyoko yelled out
"What… nobody's going to do it…?" Nekomaru questioned
"In that case, why don't we decide by a random drawing?" Nagito asked with a bit of excitement
"Random drawing?" I ask
Nagito then went into his coat pocket and pulled out some chopsticks
"To be honest, I already prepared a drawing because I assumed something like this would happen," Nagito said with a nervous smile
'To go to the trouble of preparing this… Just what did you think would happen?' I began to think
"Whoever draws the chopstick with the red mark on it will be in charge of cleaning okay? Does that sound fair?" Nagito asked
"Very well, let us entrust our fate to the whims of this drawing!" Gundam yelled with enthusiasm
"Well, no hard feelings," Mahiru said with a shrug
One by one, everyone took turns pulling the chopsticks Nagito held in his hands. And when it was all said and done…
"Wh-Why I am having so much bad luck recently?" I ask with my head held down before I looked up
"I guess your Ultimate Luck came in handy, huh?" I ask Nagito but he just stood there eyes wide and a strangely a small tiny frown etched into his face
"N-Nagito?" I ask growing concerned
"He..he" Nagito let out a little chuckle it was kinda creepy
"Yeah, I guess your right Hajime… I was...lucky today…" Nagito said while staring daggers at me I felt uncomfortable under his gaze it felt like he was inspecting me trying to find something that I had hidden.
